The Marquis de Chamhray's Hounds 315 



ing countries, riding hard for forty and fifty years after many 

 Americans, who see themselves in the "advanced" civilised list, 

 have shot their bolts and tumbled into premature graves 

 simply because they had no chase to follow, except the chase 

 after money, wliich is too often the only one the American 

 knows. In pursuing this, he is generally overtaken and killed 

 by it, with half of his days unnumbered. 



Long live the chase, to make men better fitted to live and 

 enjoy life as it goes. Long live the chase, to teach men how 

 to play and how to play fair. Long live the chase, to make 

 men stronger in mind, and healthier in body, and to enable 

 them to live their allotted days. Long live the chase, that the 

 followers may transmit to the generations to follow the noble 

 virtues of a hardy race of masculine men and feminine women. 



Long live the chase!
